The American Guernsey Association and Purebred Publishing are pleased to announce the addition of Rita Rittgers to the staff. Rita joins the team at AGA and Purebred Publishing as accountant.
Rita has an in-depth knowledge of business accounting principles, current software and accounting systems. She majored in Accounting at Franklin University. Her role will be to oversee the general ledger, accounts payables and receivables, and handle other office responsibilities as needed for the company.
Rita worked for over 20 years as a controller and office manager of a trucking company. Over the past 12 years she has worked in the accounting field as manager of accounts payable, accountant and controller for a construction company, tech company and customer service through an ongoing contract with a temp service as she “slowed down to enjoy the family,” she stated.
Rita and her husband Russ live in Hilliard, Ohio. Although not raised on the farm, Rita’s grandparents did have a Guernsey dairy farm where her parents grew up. Rita and Russ have a daughter and a son. She is an active member of the community and her church, especially with the Stephen Ministries.
Rita will be in the AGA and Purebred offices primarily Monday through Thursdays 8:30 to 3:30 to handle member billing needs and questions and the organization finances.
